The Japanese painter Asako Iwasawa grew up in Tokyo’s Akabane district, an area, even for Tokyo standards, that particularly lacks green spaces. It’s for this reason that Iwasawa eventually decided to pack up and move to the country, a decision that would go on to influence her otherworldly paintings of insects and vegetation.

When I was a kid I remember loving books that illustrated anything in a whimsical way. Asako's art actually brings me back to my childhood. If you are not familiar with her work, check it out! You will be amazed!comment
